February 16, 2012 And I'm Not Even Senile Yet

My new car needed an oil change and some TLC after its 2000 mile journey so I drove a different car to work today.  Luke drives my Mazda now; the car that I've driven for 12 years and could find in a dark, packed parking lot.  That is not the car I drove today.

Today I drove the other car.  Let's start at the beginning:  when someone asks me what kind of car I drive, I answer "silver" or "a pick up" or "one with 2 doors".  You get my drift?  I'm not a make/model kind of girl.

This was a problem tonight when I left the office.  Upon arriving at the top floor of the parking garage, I discovered 3 silver cars.  I didn't discover them all at once, of course.  I discovered them one at a time.

I went to the first one, parked in the spot where I usually park.

Pushed the unlock button on my key fob.  And waited while nothing happened.

That was Silver Car #1.  (I have no idea what the orange cone was for.  It certainly wasn't there to help me find my damn car.)

I glanced around and found Silver Car #2.  I tootled over to it, pushed the key fob.

Nothing.

Things were getting desperate.

But then, just when I was about to call someone (oh wait, I couldn't have called anyone because I had forgotten my phone.  Yes.  It was that kind of day.), there is was.....Silver Car #3.

I pushed the unlock button and the car unlocked!  Just like magic!

This car needs some bumper stickers or something.  Me remembering where I parked is clearly not an option.
